v2 -> v3:

   - virtio-crypto: Introduce RSA algorithm

v1 -> v2:
- Update virtio_crypto.h from v2 version of related kernel patch.

v1:
- Support akcipher for virtio-crypto.
- Introduce akcipher class.
- Introduce ASN1 decoder into QEMU.
- Implement RSA backend by nettle/hogweed.

Lei He (3):
   crypto-akcipher: Introduce akcipher types to qapi
   crypto: Implement RSA algorithm by hogweed
   tests/crypto: Add test suite for crypto akcipher

Zhenwei Pi (3):
   virtio-crypto: header update
   crypto: Introduce akcipher crypto class
   virtio-crypto: Introduce RSA algorithm

You forgot to describe the point of this patchset and what its use case is.
Like any other Linux kernel patchset, that needs to be in the cover letter.

Thanks Eric for pointing this missing part.

This feature provides akcipher service offloading capability. QEMU side handles asymmetric requests via virtio-crypto devices from guest side, do encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify operations on host side, and return the result to guest.

This patchset implements a RSA backend by hogweed from nettle, it works together with guest patch:
